Hello, I am Dr Lucy Hale (she/her), Founder and Director of Sorrel Psychology. I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist based in Surrey, with experience across NHS and private-sector organisations. I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, a master’s degree in Mental Health, and an undergraduate degree in Psychology with German. Alongside my clinical practice, I work on the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology training programme at King’s College London.

I offer evidence-based psychological support to adolescents and adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties. My particular areas of interest include eating distress and anxiety disorders, especially obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) and appearance-related anxiety. Further information is available under Services.

I keep up to date with developments in evidence-based psychological treatments and undertake my own research to help improve therapy outcomes. I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and am a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society (BPS). I am also accredited as a practitioner, supervisor, and trainer with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP).

I offer an approachable, collaborative service and tailor support to each person’s individual needs. I recognise that psychological difficulties can affect not only the person experiencing them but also those close to them. Where appropriate, and with the individual’s agreement, I therefore welcome the involvement of family members, carers, or partners.
